Shear Wave Splitting Discloses Two Episodes of Collision-Related Convergence in Western North America

Shear Wave Splitting Discloses Two Episodes of Collision-Related Convergence in Western North America

Seismic anisotropy imposes first-order constraints on the strain history of crust and upper mantle rocks. In this study, we analyze the mantle seismic anisotropy of the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin using a new shear wave spitting data set consisting of 1,333 teleseismic arrivals from 82 seismic...
